Jelly Roll has become an inspiration to many over the past few years. From completely turning his life around and committing to a drug and alcohol free lifestyle, to embracing healthier diet choices and exercise. He admitted at the start of his journey that he was over 500 pounds. Now because of his dedication and support from his friends and family, he’s down over 125 pounds and said he feels like a new man. Now, he’s inviting his country music friends and fans to join him in his next 5k in Tampa.
“I’m training for the next 5K, baby, and I want you all to do it with me,” he said.
Jelly Roll is teaming up with comedians Tom Segura and Tampa native Bert Kreischer at Tampa’s 2 Bears 5K on May 4th. Everyone who finishes gets a medal, t-shirt, and cold beer. After starting at Pasadena’s Rose Bowl, the event has really taken off. The Tampa event will feature food trucks, entertainment areas, and gear check for runners.
Organizers say surprise guests will join the three headliners. A lively festival area packed with vendors and activities will greet participants.
Speed isn’t important – this 5K is for everyone. You can run fast or walk slow, whatever works for you.
After running his first 5K last year, the singer has been putting in serious training time for the upcoming event. He plans to start all kinds of training groups on Strava, support groups, and more training motivation!
Registration for the 5K is now open. Tickets for the 5k are $69 and if you just want to show up for the party, you can buy “spectator” tickets for $59.
